Haitian Creole interpretation services
Haitian Creole, not French. They are not interchangeable.
Haitian Creole at a glance
Haitian Creole is distinct from French — speakers may understand French but not always speak it. We pair Haitian patients and clients with Creole interpreters specifically, not French.
Haitian Creole is its own language, not broken French. Many speakers understand little spoken French, so we pair Haitian clients with Kreyòl interpreters specifically — never a French interpreter by default.
Haitian Creole has around 12 million speakers, primarily in Haiti and the Haitian diaspora. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
